I can guarantee this WILL be done. I'm not sure if the person will get caught or not, but I'm sure people WILL do it. If they're smart, they'll only wear their sunglasses during the day, and rely on their "skill" to win any races at night, if necessary.
Of course, they could also just wear a pair of these at night too:
